British: homework due 11/3

Hey all! Sorry I couldn't post last night... internet was down! (Ugh.)

You are to read an excerpt from Gulliver's Travels which you can view here: http://www.enotes.com/gullivers-travels-text/. I want you to read Part IV, chapters 1 - 3. (Not bad, eh?) Also, write a one-page bio on Jonathan Swift.

Ciao!
Ally

Ally,

Umm... our internet blocks that site. I can't access it. What should I do?

is it possible for me to send you my bio before actually turning it in to get a better grade? cause I'm done, but I'd like something more to do with it.

Monica,
Search for "Gullivers Travels text" in Google and it'll give you different sites where you can read it. Just make sure you're reading the right selection.

Kris,
Yes, it can def be longer than a page.

Cat,
Not exactly sure what you're asking. Do you want me to proofread it before I officially grade it? Do you want my suggestions on it?

Love to all, Ally

Hey Ally--

In all the stuff I'm reading about Swift, it's talking about him earning his B.A. and his M.A. ... should I just say "he earned a B.A." in my essay, or should i say "he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree"? thanks :)

:) rach

Ally said...

Bachelor of Arts sounds so much nicer, doesn't it? I won't downgrade you, no matter what you decide, though. ;)

Ally,

I found the chapters. Thanks!

Rach said...

with Pride and Prejudice (btw i am now abbreviating it to P&P), are we allowed to read ahead, or do you want us to wait until next week?

thanks :) rach

Ally said...

You can def read ahead if you'd like. However before you come to class, please review where everyone else stopped so you don't spill the beans!! :)
